Abstract

Background: Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin deacetylation, shows potential as a natural edible coating to extend the shelf life of perishable fruits. Utilizing giant African snail (Achatina fulica) shells as a chitosan source offers a sustainable solution to reduce biological waste while replacing synthetic chemicals in food preservation. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of snail shell chitosan as an edible coating in maintaining the physicochemical quality of tamarillo (Solanum betaceum) during storage. Methods: Chitosan was isolated from snail shells and applied at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested using the disc diffusion method. Physicochemical parameters including weight loss, moisture loss, color, pH, total acidity, vitamin C content, and total soluble solids (TSS) were measured over 7 days of storage. Results: Chitosan demonstrated strong to very strong antibacterial activity, with the largest inhibition zones at 30% concentration (29 mm for S. aureus; 33.8 mm for P. aeruginosa). The 30% chitosan treatment yielded optimal results: lowest weight loss (3.15%), moisture loss (5.75%), pH (7.72), total acidity (16.44%), and TSS (1.350). Vitamin C retention was significantly higher in the 30% chitosan group (551.47 mg/100g) compared to control (416.53 mg/100g), confirming its effectiveness in inhibiting oxidation. Conclusion: 30% snail shell chitosan proved effective as an edible coating for maintaining tamarillo's physicochemical quality, while providing a natural and sustainable solution for the food industry.

Abstract

Background: Curcuma zedoaria (Berg.) Roscoe, commonly known as white turmeric, is a plant from the Zingiberaceae family that contains bioactive compounds such as curcumin, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. These compounds have potential as natural antiperspirants due to their astringent and antimicrobial properties, which can reduce sweat production and prevent body odor. The use of synthetic antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride often causes skin irritation, highlighting the need for safer, natural alternatives. Objective: This study aims to formulate an antiperspirant cream using white turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria (Berg.) Roscoe) extract with good physical quality and to evaluate the effectiveness of various concentrations in inhibiting sweat production. Methods: This experimental study involved extracting white turmeric using 96% ethanol through maceration, followed by concentration with a rotary evaporator. The antiperspirant cream was formulated with varying extract concentrations. Physical quality evaluations included organoleptic testing, homogeneity, pH, stability, viscosity, adhesion, spreadability, cream type, as well as irritation and antiperspirant tests on volunteers. Results: Phytochemical screening showed that the white turmeric extract contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The cream with a 17.5% extract concentration demonstrated the highest antiperspirant effectiveness compared to 7.5% and 12.5% concentrations. All formulations met physical quality standards, including pH (4.5–6.5), viscosity (2,700–23,020 cP), and 14-day stability without significant changes. Conclusion: The white turmeric-based antiperspirant cream met physical quality standards and exhibited significant antiperspirant effects, particularly at a 17.5% concentration. This study demonstrates the potential of white turmeric as a safe and effective natural active ingredient in antiperspirant formulations.

Abstract

Background: Ineffective wound care and bacterial infections are among the major barriers to optimal wound healing. Conventional wound dressing often fail to maintain proper moisture and lack antimicrobial activity, requiring the development of more advanced alternatives. Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a modern nanocomposite-based wound dressing system combining PVA, Na-CMC, and ciprofloxacin as a local antibacterial agent. Methods: Nanocomposite films were formulated using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC), and ciprofloxacin. Three formulas were developed with varying concentrations of PVA and Na-CMC. The formulations were evaluated through surface morphology analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), swelling test, biodegradation, mechanical strength, antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and ciprofloxacin entrapment efficiency. Results: The formula with the highest Na-CMC content showed the best performance, with the largest pore size (52.74 nm), the highest swelling ratio (432.13%), the widest inhibition zone (3.65 ± 0.05 mm), and the highest entrapment efficiency of ciprofloxacin (91.95%). Conclusion: The developed nanocomposite film exhibits favorable physical and biological characteristics, supporting its potential use as a modern wound dressing to accelerate healing and prevent bacterial infections.

Abstract

Background: Gelatin, as a product of partial collagen hydrolysis, is typically derived from pig bones or skin, creating halal compliance issues for Indonesia's Muslim population. Objective: This study aimed to isolate halal gelatin from gulamah fish bones (Johnius trachycephalus) and apply it as a gelling agent in jelly candy production. Methods: The gelatin isolation process involved: (1) degreasing through immersion in boiling water, (2) demineralization using 5% acetic acid for 48 hours, (3) extraction at 60-75°C for 12 hours, and (4) oven drying at 50°C. Gelatin was characterized using FTIR and tested for quality parameters (yield, moisture content, ash content, pH) according to SNI standards. Jelly candies were formulated with two gelatin concentrations (F1=5g; F2=10g) and evaluated for physical properties and hedonic quality. Results: The study achieved a gelatin yield of 7.32% with SNI 06-3735 compliant characteristics: 10.2% moisture content, 1.24% ash content, pH 6.28, and FTIR identification of characteristic functional groups (-OH, C=O, N-H, C-H, and C-N). Formula F2 (10g gelatin) received the highest preference scores for texture (2.93), aroma (2.93), and taste (4.63). Conclusion: Gulamah fish bones show potential as a halal gelatin source meeting quality standards, with optimal application at a 10g concentration in jelly candy formulations
